PUBLIC:

I have known many of the Storm partners since pre-Storm and they invested in my current company as a fund, and as individual investors in my last company.

To me having straight shooters as your investors is criterion #1, as there are inherent conflicts of interest in the venture process. The Storm partners are all ex-operational guys, and the first funds were with a lot of their own money. So compared to most VCs, you will always know where you stand.
